Intention Hierarchy |
| Problem | The company needs to have a holistic approach to working with competency, with activities being co-ordinated and supporting each other. | |
| Context | In traditionally regulated ESI companies the change of competency needs has often been slow and the need for co-ordination is low. Competency activities are therefore considered to be not very strategic and are to a large extent delegated to local managers and not followed up as tightly as the technical issues of power production and distribution. Competency related activities are not seen as being of importance in relation to the typical ESI focus on the technical issues of power production, supply and distribution. Competency activities are thus fragmented and not co-ordinated.
